Random Matrix Theory with an External Source

This is a first book to show that the theory of the Gaussian random matrix is essential to understand the universal correlations with random fluctuations and to demonstrate that it is useful to evaluate topological universal quantities. We consider Gaussi

Preface

Random matrix theory (RMT) has a long history, starting with the statistics of nuclear energy levels by Wigner, and it has found applications in wide areas of all sciences from mathematics to biology. The universality of properties derived from random matrices has led to a large number of applications such as network statistics, big data analysis, and biological information. Useful surveys maybe found in [61, 97, 111, 117, 124]. This book deals with Gaussian random matrix models with an external deterministic matrix source. There are also numerous reasons to consider such extensions of standard RMT theory. For insta
